Good morning, Charlottesville.

Lightning struck a home on Saturday evening in Albemarle County — the fire forced two residents to leave their home.

Charlottesville restaurateur Kitty Ashi, originally from Thailand, now runs eight businesses in Charlottesville, Crozet, and Wisconsin and plans a new Thai-inspired cafe—Camellias—by early August in Charlottesville with a Thai-Korean fusion spot coming at UVA by year-end.

On June 14, Student Council passed a non-binding resolution that calls for five students to join the search committee for a new University president and asks the Board of Visitors to update students through surveys and bi-monthly meetings—steps meant to ensure diverse student voices are heard. The resolution also requests that Board leaders meet with Student Council representatives by Oct 1 to discuss the search timeline.

Nurse practitioner Ginger Pettengill Freese told Charlottesville residents that healthy feet help prevent serious issues like obesity and heart disease.

She advised using licensed pedicure shops, soaking calluses properly, and wearing the right shoes—warned practices like fish pedicures can lead to infections.

The Market at Bellair offers gourmet sandwiches and fresh baked goods inside a small gas station that goes beyond fueling up, with prices from $8 to $10 and a 15-minute wait for orders—an unexpected dining option for locals and students.

Managed by Tiger Fuel Company, the spot allows customers to customize their sandwiches with quality ingredients served in a clean, wood-furnished space.
